xHamster Launches $25K Fund to Develop “Porn for Women”

Leading adult site xHamster is launching a fund for women filmmakers to grow its “Porn for Women” category. xHamster is committing over $25K dollars to provide new and established filmmakers awards and grants, ranging from smaller contests to major development deals.

Submissions for grant and award money will begin September 1st.

“Over the past few years, we’ve seen the number of women coming to our site skyrocket. Women make up more than a quarter of our fans but 95% of production is intended for a male audience,” says Alex Hawkins, Vice President of xHamster in a statement announcing the fund. “We want to launch a revolution in content made by and for women, and we want to see it on xHamster.”

The xHamster for Women Fund will provide awards and grants to women-identified filmmakers ranging in size from $500 to $10K over the course of the next year.

Submissions can range from short clips to full-scale productions. Smaller, amateur clips will compete in monthly showcases for judged awards. More established productions can apply for grant money to help supplement their productions, and pay performers a fair wage. Larger productions can apply to xHamster for co-production status. In most cases, xHamster is not requesting or retaining any ownership of the content.

A rotating panel of women, featuring performers, journalists, academics directors and xHamster staff, will judge the submissions.

“We’re hoping to see strong Porn for Women submissions at every level of production, from homemade phone clips to sex tapes to large-scale productions. We’re hoping to use this fund to help better understand what women respond to, while giving them the financial incentive to create it.”

Applications and information about the Porn for Women Fund are available at xhamster.com/media/women.
